Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 2, 1913.

Patented July '7, 1914. Serial No. 765,073.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL HAAs, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing in New York, in the borough of Manhattan, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Imp-rovements in Holders for Spools, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved holder for spools by which a number of spools containing seam-bindings can be used by the operator, one independent of the other, the holder as well as the stand being adapted to be readily moved in either direction as required and containing a plurality of rolls for seam-binding tape in such a manner that they are safely locked so as not to be capable of being removed from the stand.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a side-elevation of my improved spool-holder for seam-binding, Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section on line 22, Fig. 1, and Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views of the individual partitions respectively between the spools or rolls and the covering end-partition.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the diflerent figures of the drawing.

Referring to thedrawing, a represents a horizontal shaft which is made of square cross-section at its forward end and which is supported by a vertical pivot-post 6 around which it can swing, and by a second post 6 provided with a flat shoe 6 that rests on the table or other support 27 in proximity to the sewing-machines to which the seam-binding is to be supplied. By means of the pivot-post and movable supporting shoe the spool-holder can be turned in any desired direction relatively to the machine to which the seam-binding is to be supplied. On the square end of the shaft a are arranged a plurality of spools or rolls 8 of seam-binding which are placed on the hubs (Z of partitions d that are placed by their square recesses of the hubs al on the square end of the shaft a, so as to be rigidly retained thereon, while permitting the free turning of the spools or rolls 8 of seam-bind-.

ing. At the outer end of the shaft ais placed a disk-shaped end-plate d provided with a short hub 65 as shown in Fig. 1. The shaft is provided at its outermost projecting end with a perforated portion a through which a padlock p or other suitable locking device is placed, so that the spools or rolls cannot be removed by the operators, but only by the party having a key and access to the padlock, so that new rolls of seam-binding can be placed in position in place of the spent ones. The center-portion of the spools may be provided with a. pasteboard sleeve so as to turn freely on the hubs (Z of the partitions.

By the use of the spool-holder seam-bindings can be supplied to the machines of several operators as required and without any loss of seam-binding by the unauthorized removal of any one of the rolls or spools from the holder.

I claim:

1. A spool holder comprising an angular supporting shaft and a plurality of spool separating partitions removably disposed on said shaft and provided with hubs having angular bores to fit said shaft and rounded exteriors adapted to serve as journals for the spools.

2. A spool holder comprising an angular supporting shaft, a plurality of spools separating partitions removably disposed on said shaft and provided with hubs having angu lar bores to fit said shaft and rounded exteriors adapted to serve as journals for the spools, and a locking means at the outer end of said shaft.

8. A spool holder comprising a post attachable to a table, a horizontally swiveling shaft connected with said post and provided with an auxiliary movable post having a sliding shoe at its lower end adapted to move on the table, and a series of spool separating partitions strung on said shaft.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

- SAMUEL HAAS.
